Statement from Mayor Adrian Foster on Ontario’s GO Train announcement

Clarington, Ontario – Clarington Mayor Adrian Foster has released the following statement after the Ontario government introduced the Transportation for the Future Act.  

“This is a huge step forward to finally connect our community to the rest of the GTA through GO Transit. I am thrilled to hear about this innovative tool for building new GO Train stations.

The faster the two stations planned for Clarington can be built, the quicker the GO Train can come here, bringing better transit options for our residents and a better quality of life.

I want to thank our staff and the Region of Durham for their partnership in the vision of vibrant transit-oriented communities around the stations. I also want to thank the Ontario government for their determination to complete the GO Lakeshore East Extension and strengthen the economic potential of Clarington and Durham Region. 

We are finally making significant progress in bringing the GO Train to Bowmanville. I look forward to the announcement of the target date, so people know when to expect to get on the train at the new stations.”
